He joined the Department as the Department of External Affairs (later Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) in 1970 and has had wide experience, particularly on Asian issues. Fluent in Modern Standard Chinese (Mandarin) his previous postings and placements include: Australian High Commissioner (Ambassador) to Singapore (1997–2001); Australian Consul-General in Shanghai (1987–92); Counsellor in Washington (1983–86); Counsellor in Beijing (1979–83), as well as earlier postings in Beijing (1973–76), and Hong Kong (1971–73). Mr McLean arrived in Tokyo on 24 November 2004 to take up his appointment as Australia's Ambassador to Japan,[4] which ran until August 2011.[5] His placements within the Department included: Deputy Secretary (February–November 2004); First Assistant Secretary, North Asia Division (2001–04) and Head of East Asia Branch (1992–96). In 1991, McLean was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for his services to international relations, particularly as Australian Consul General in Shanghai. In 2013, he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO).[6][7] In 2014, the Japanese Government honoured McLean with the award of Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun, its highest award for foreigners, in recognition of his distinguished achievements in international relations.[8] McLean is a B.A. (Hons) graduate from the University of Melbourne in 1969, and later studied Chinese at the University of Hong Kong. He completed his secondary schooling at Benalla High School and Geelong College, where he was Head Prefect in 1965.[9] Born in 1947, he is married with two adult children and his interests include golf, tennis, classical music and Asian arts and antiquities.
